Requesting a 'controversial song' at an Irish pub

Featured Replies

I mean.....I was wondering what the protocol is : requesting an 'IRA song' at an Irish pub in Bangkok. I love the song 'You'll never beat the Irish'. As a socialist, I sympathise with that song in some ways.

 

I wouldn't want to put the band at discomfort.

 

Well, if they DO play it, then, my risk, I guess :)

 

What do you guys think ?

I don't know a lot about that , but I guess I would first want to find out if they are not unionists (is that the correct term?). If they are , can you please videotape the resulting lovefest and post it on YouTube.

 

PS: after thinking about it a bit more,  I would suggest you wait until everyone had a few drinks in them ,  :tongue:

Thais are up on the political struggles of NI.  Not.  Jeez.

 Sorry I did not know Thais frequented Irish pubs.

Then go ahead I am sure they will  get between and stop any ensuing arguments.

They'll be running the venue.  Jeez.

I doubt that you would have any problems as there probably isn't an "Irish" pub in Bangkok that is actually Irish,  Irish-owned or has any real Irish following.   The Dubliner and the predecessors to Molly Malone's in Silom (Irish Exchange and Shenanigans) were always the only real Irish pubs.  The rest were just cheap copies using Irish-sounding names.

A socialist? Lol, how pathetic. 

 

Maybe you should spend less time enjoying the pleasures of capitalism in pubs in bkk and head over to Venezuela or North Korea to join your comrades.

Agree. If you do truly want to test the waters of Irish or any other national partisanship, then journey to Pattaya where a much richer selection of chauvinistically themed drinking dens populate it's sois and alleys. Even those dwelling deep in the past (Jacobean Bar) can find brethren with whom to sing rowdy battle songs and laments to fallen heroes. 

You can find bars where Norwegians hate other Norwegians, Germans hate Germans and French who hate everybody not to mention the countless English Bars representing the denizens of Manchester (They, of course have their own subdivisions) Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham, ect excluding Nouveau Londoners who wouldn't be seen dead in Pattaya.

For even more fun, wear a B100 knock-off ManU shirt and stroll down Soi Buakhow.

Reminds me of the old country.

About time that we had a thread on Irish music, we should have one about whiskey as well.
